Good -Life Devotional: 

THE FAMILY THAT FEARS GOD

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

   A family that fears God is one that walks in total obedience, reverence, and trust in Him. Abraham stands as a timeless example of such devotion. Out of reverence and holy fear, he left his homeland to follow God’s call (Genesis 12:1-4), trusted Him for a son in old age, and was even willing to sacrifice Isaac, his only son of promise (Genesis 22:12). Abraham also demonstrated the fear of God through his giving—he instituted the tithe long before the Law, offering a tenth of all to Melchizedek as a mark of worship and gratitude (Genesis 14:20). His grandson Jacob continued in this covenant, vowing to give a tenth to God (Genesis 28:22).

     Deuteronomy 14:23 teaches that the purpose of tithing is to “learn always to fear the Lord your God.” In the New Testament, this principle of generous giving continues. Believers are commanded to support the work of the Gospel—“each one should set aside a sum in keeping with his income” (1 Corinthians 16:1-2), and “let him who is taught the word share in all good things with him who teaches” (Galatians 6:6).

     Couples must therefore prayerfully seek God for faith and grace to remain consistent in giving. Psalm 112 declares that those who fear the Lord shall have “wealth and riches in their house” and “will not fear bad news.” The fear of God not only brings prosperity but also secures marriages from infidelity, strife, and destruction (Proverbs 19:23; Ecclesiastes 12:13).

  In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and grace give towards God's work .

PRAYER: Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power to overcome poverty.
